Part IV - Back to Michigan and Philip's Wedding

On the way back we spent the night in Niagara Falls, which is super inexpensive this time of year.

-View from our room.













-I just really like this name.













-The light show from Canada that shines on the American and Horseshoe Falls every night.



-And then it turns to color. We also had a moon at the perfect location!












-More of the American Falls.

-What the river's like before it heads on over the side.












-Niagara Falls, Ontario.
-Part of Horseshoe Falls. It was way too misty to see them all.
-Carol and Mom have fun watching the colors change.

-American Falls and Bridal Falls from the other side.



-And early in the morning we stopped on the Canadian side.

We had to get back for Philip and April's wedding.

-And with the Indian Summer we all had our sandals and open toes out.
-Phil and April.
-Happy because it's October!




Part III - Cape Cod

We made it to the cape...which, of course, the highlight is the kids...


-Justin in his red and white support for the Red Sox.


-Alex, the schoolgirl, with braids in from Grandma.







-Bradley, the ever-growing and sweet boy.

-At Justin's soccer game, Bradley the future soccer player.
-Justin in action with one of his favorite actions of throwing the ball back in.

-Bradley and Dad.
-Justin with his game face on.













-And running for the ball.

-With a friend from the other team.



-A bit mischevious?

-On to the cranberry bog.
-Justin at the heights to see the bogs.
-Alex got a catepiller. She then named it Sophie.
-At the Cape Cod National Seashore. Not too breezy. Even saw a couple of seals.



-Justin and Alex, who don't seem to be afraid to get totally wet in 50 degree weather and wind!
-Cape Cod Canal. What made Cape Cod an island.
-Alex.
-Justin.
-And to be totally east coast, Carol bought some crabs and a lobster to cook. These guys weren't happy and he kept crawling out of the pan before he was cooked.




-Lobster after he was cooked.
-Bradley hiding and running out to surprise everyone.

-The brothers looking through old memories!
-Me playing around with my camera and a sepia Justin.




-Brewster at Breakwater Beach.




-Grandma and Alex at low tide.

-Bradley and the tidal pools. Not too much there since it's so late in the season.
-But we found stuff still...
-Bradley at the general store.







-Alex hanging out with the gang in front of the store.
-I didn't even have to pose him...he knew the pumpkin hat with with the pumpkin he and Alex had just gotten from the farm!
-Bradley on the phone to "Gm-pa." Not really, be he does a good job of convincing.
-And he gets intense on getting the phone back!
-The family before we left.

-Justin is in a "peaceful" 2nd grade.
-Great Aunt Carol taking them to the busstop.
-Alex helping Grandma.
-And what I do with the kids...mainly play.
